Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Trim off the ends. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick sticks, resembling french fries. If your zucchinis are very large, you might want to scoop out some of the watery seeds from the center before cutting them into fries, as this will help them crisp up better. Pat the zucchini sticks very dry with paper towels. This is a critical step for crispiness; excess moisture will steam the zucchini instead of baking it.2 medium zucchinis
- Create three shallow bowls or plates for your breading process. In the first bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. In the second bowl, lightly beat the two large eggs.1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 2 large eggs
- Working in batches, take each zucchini stick and first dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Let any excess egg drip off.2 medium zucchinis, 2 large eggs
- Next, transfer the egg-coated zucchini stick to the bowl with the almond flour mixture. Press gently to make sure the mixture adheres well to all sides of the zucchini. Ensure each fry is evenly coated.2 medium zucchinis, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Carefully place the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping, as this allows for optimal air circulation, which is key to achieving a crispy texture. You may need to use two baking sheets if you have a lot of zucchini.2 medium zucchinis
- Lightly drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the zucchini fries on the baking sheet. You can also use a pastry brush to lightly brush each fry with oil. This oil will help them achieve a beautiful golden brown and crispy finish.2 tablespoons olive oil
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the baking time. They should be tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the Crispy Baked Keto Zucchini Fries from the oven. Serve them hot and fresh, as they are best enjoyed right after baking.
Notes
To store, allow to cool completely on a wire rack, then transfer to an airtight container lined with paper towels. Refrigerate for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes. Avoid microwaving.
